Application filed January 25, 1912. Serial No. 673,334.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD COLSTON LovnLL, asubject of the King of Great Britain, residing in Bristol, England, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in' Machines for MakingCylinders of Cardboard and the Like, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an improved ma chine for making cylinders ofcardboard and y the like, and it has for its object to provide .on tothe rolling mandrel or former.

a simple and etlicient machine whereby cardboard cylinders having aninternal coating of wax may be produced in a rapid and economicalmanner.

According to the present invention the cylinders are formed from acontinuous roll or web of cardboard or the like of a width sufficient togive the desired length for making the cylinder when out transversely ofits length. The cardboard is fed intermittently to mechanism whereby ithas applied to it upon its under surface along one edge a coating ofwax. The width of the wax coated surface is sufficient to form theaforesaid internal coating above referred to, and after the wax has beenapplied the cardboard is cut transversely of its length and the severedsheet is pushed forward until it is in a position to be fed to themechanism for rolling the card to form the cylinder, glue or otheradhesive being applied to the end of the card' as it is being drawn Thecylinder when completed is stripped or removed from the former by meansof a collar arranged to normally occupy a position at one end of theformer, and which collar is caused at stated intervals to move to andfro thereon to remove the completed cylinder.

In order that the invention may be the better understood, drawings areappended in which Figure l, is a side elevation of a machine constructedin accordance with the present line A A. Fig. 5. Fig. 7, is a sideelevation of the mechanism for feeding the w lied strip of card to theformer. 7 side elevation partly in section showing the arrangement ofthe knife and the mechanism operating same.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 and 2 indicate framesconnected together by means of stays not shown, and which frames supportbearers or brackets 3. 4 to which are connected the ends of transversebearers or brackets 5, 6 upon which is mounted 'a glue receptacle 7which is heated by means of a steam jacket w beneath said receptacle.The frames 1 and 2 also serve to support the plate 8 upon which aremeant ed the former and other parts of the machine.

Formed upon the frames 1 and 2 are bearings for shafts 9,10. one ofwhich shafts 9 is provided with a driving pulley 11 which may beclutched to the said shaft by means of the handle 12, mounted on thespindle 12* carried in bracket 12", see Figs. 1 and :2. The shaft 9 isalso provided with a pinion 13 in gear with a pinion 14: upon shaft- 10,motion being transmitted from the shaft 9 to the shaft 10 throughsaidpinion. The

shaft 10 at its opposite end is provided with a miter Wheel 14 in gearwith a second miter Wheel 15 mounted upon a shaft 16 arranged at thefront end of the machine and for which shaft brackets 161 are providedupon the frame 1.

Bolted or otherwise secured to frame 1 are twobrackets 1? which supporta table 18 upon which is mounted the wax receptacle which as in the caseof the glue receptacle already referred to is heated by a steam jacketor space a: beneath it. The wax re ceptacle just referred to comprises arectangular box like body 19 mounted upon the aforesaid extension 18 andprovided at the sides with bearings for the spindle of a roller. 20which is immersed in the wax in the receptacle. The spindle of theroller 20 is extended beyond the limits of the receptacle upon one side,and it has secured to it a second roller 21 which acts in conjunctionwith a roller 22 upon a spindle carried at one end in a bracket 2tsecured to the side of the wax reservoir and at the other in a bracket25 mounted upon the extension 18. A second roller 22 upon spindle bearsagainst the top of the web of card-board, and the set of rollers inaddition to feeding the material :0 forward from the roll 26, mounted inbrackets such as 27 secured to an extension 29 attached to the sides ofone of the frames of the machine, serve to apply by means ofroller 20, acoating of wax alohg one edge of the cardboard. The coated surface, aswill be hereinafter described, is disposed upon the inside of thecylinder. The movement of the feed and wax rollers is intermittent, andis obtained by means of a ratchet wheel 30 secured to the spindle ofrollers 20 and 21 operated by means of a pawl, or as in the presentinstance by means of three pawls 31 secured to a body 32, see Figs. 2,13, 14 and 15, freely mounted upon the end of the spindle of the rollers20, 21. The employmentof the pawls is only requisite in order to obtainthe exact feed Without employing a wheel having teeth of very smallpitch, and with this object, the said pawls are set so that they eachcome into operation at each third stroke. The body 32 is actuated bymeans of a crank, the arrangement comprising a body secured to the shaft16, and slotted to receive a pin 34 adjustable in said slot, and towhich pin is connected one end of arod 35, see Figs. 2, 13, 14 and 15.The upper end. of the rod is provided with teeth which engage teeth 32upon the body 32 as shown, and the said rod is supported by means of ahanging guide or bracket freely mounted upon each side of the body 32.The motion of the spindle of rollers 20, 21 is transmitted to spindle 23by means of a pinion 36 upon said first spindle which engages a secondpinion 37 upon spindle 2-3.

In addition to carrying the spindl 23 just referred to, the brackets 24,25 serve respectively to support the end of the'\ movable member of theknife and the guide for the.

knife as also the support for the fixed blade of said knife. With thisobject in view the eanne] bracket 24 is provided with. an arm 25 onwhich is provided a bearing 25 for a pin engaging an eye 38 upon one endof a beam or bar 39, to which is secured the upper member of the knifeor shears by which the requisite length of card is cut from the web. Theknife is arranged behind the wax receptacle in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 8, 0 and12, and the fixed blade 40 thereof supported by projections such as 42,Fig. 8 formed upon the inner faces of brackets 24, 2:1 and to which theends of the bar 43 supporting the blade 40 are bolted or otl'ierwisesecured. The movable member at its outer end is located between guides44 attached to the bracket 25,

see Fig. 8, and at said outer end there is secured one end of a rod 4-4having at its opposite end teeth 45 engaging a pinion 46, see Figs. 2,3, 4, 8, 9 and 10, the spindle of which is freely mounted in a guide 47which maintains the rod 44 in a position with its teeth in engagementwith the teeth of the aforesaid pinion 46. The pinion is also in gearwith a rack 48 secured within a recess 49 in a bracket 50 secured to theside of the glue receptacle 7, see Figs. 4, 9 and 10. The spindle of thepinion 46 is extended upon each side. of the guide 47 and is engaged bythe upper end of a rod 51, which rod at its lower end is connected to abell crank lever 52 loosely mounted on shaft 9 and carrying a rollerengaging a cam race in't-he side of a disk53 mounted upon the shaft 10,see Figs. 1 and 2.

Arranged above the plate 8 is a table 54 supported at one end by meansof a U shaped plate the ends of which are bolted or otherwise secured tothe opposite ends of the glue receptacle. see Figs. 2, 3. 4, ll. and 12,and at the other by n ans of short col umns 56 secured at one end to theunderside of the table and at the other provided. with screwedextensions which enter tapped holes in the web (a of the gummedreceptacle. The table at one end terminates at a point adjacent the feedrollers so that when the card 11- is cut transversely of its length, thesevered portion falls on to the said table 54, upon which it issupported until presented to the former. In order that it may be broughtinto a position ready to be presented to the former, it is necessarythat it shall first be advanced toward the opposite end of the machinein front of the former, and the necessary movement is effected by meansof the plate or bar 57, Figs. 3 and 12. The plate 57 is formed in twoparts, one of which is provided with a lucnxber adapted to enter andslide within. a channel 59 formed in tlre upper surface of the table 54.The other portion of the plate 57 rests upon the upper surface of thetable 54 and has secured tot a perforated lug orboss which engages a rod61 secured beneath the table .54, which tabloid;

cured to it a second pinion 77 with which flan -mounted upon said plate,and which brackslot-ted at (32 for the passage of the engaging member(30. Secured to the boss is one end of a link (33 attached at itsopposite end to an arm til, which arm is securedto at one end supportedby a bearing 66 formed upon one of the transverse brackets bearing beingprovided at 67 upon the glue Secured to the lower end of spindle (55 isa secoiul. arm 65 to which is attached one end of a rod indicated by 68,the other end of said rod being secured to the upper cud of one memberof abell crank lever (39 loosely mounted upon shaft 9 and actuated bymeans of a roller upon the other member which engages a cam race formedin the side of a disk 70, see 1 and 2. The card-liioard when movedforward by the parts just described is left in a position ready forfeeding to the former. A. fence or stop is provided sition thecard-board ready for feeding to The movement just referred to iseiiected by means of the fingers 71 which are mounted upon a slide 72,and which fingers project through apertures in the table 5%. The slideT2 is mounted in guides 78 formed upon a bracket 7 secured to the sideof the glue receptacle, see Figs.

1, T and 11. The reciprocation of the slide 72 effected by means of arack 75 secured to the underside of the slide, and with which rackengages a pinion iii mounted upon a spindle 77 carried by the bracket74. The spindle at its outer end has 58- engages a rack 78 at'the upperend of the rod 79, which rod at its lower end is attached to a bellcrank lever 80, loosely mounted upon shaft t) and operated by means of acam race formed in the face of a disk 81 upon the shaft 10. The rack 78is maintained in gear with its pinion by means of a roller 82 carried bya suitable pin supported upon theside of the bracket, see Fig. 7.

The former upon which the card-. board is wound to form th cylinder, isarranged at a right angle to the line of the webbing and the spindles ofthe gum rollers are arranged parallel to the axis of the former. Theformer comprises a body made in two parts 84 and 85, see Figs. 5 and 6.The portion is extended as shown in the form of a spindle and has freelymounted upon it at its other end the other portion 85. The forn'ier issupported upon one plate 8- by means of the brackets 86 ets are providedwith bearings in which is free to rotate the extension of pant ,8l.Running parallel to the ax s of the former, and disposed upon theperiphery of the part 84 is a projection 87 extending along that portionof the part 84 which is covered by the part and the projection87 isprovided upon oneside with a lip 88 which as will be presentlydescribed, engages the edge of the card-board and retains it while it isbeing wound around the former. The outer portion 85 of the former 15cutaway for the passage of the body of the peripheral projection on part84 so that the lip 88 overhangs the side of thechannel which isflattened to receive it. At one end the part 84 is provided with a lug89 recessed upon one face, the recess serving to receive the end of ahelical spring 90, the opposite end or body of which. spring iscontained within a chamber formed to receive it Within a lug 91 upon theend of the other or outer member 85. Normally the parts are retained bythe spring in a position such that there is a clear passage between thelip and the slot in the part 85 for the end of the cardboard strip.lVhen, however, the

former is caused to rotate, the lip is moved forward and engagesthe endof the card strip, which asv aforesaid, it then retains, during the timethe rest of the strip is wrapped or wound around the former. There is asufficient lat; between the two members of. the former to permit theproper movement of the lip prior to the rotation of the outer portion85;, and if desired. provision may be made whereby this may be insuredby providing some frictional or braking means whereby the outer memberis caused to lag somewhat, and there is the desired lost motion betweenthe'parts.

The rotation of the former is eflected by means of the toothed sec or,92. Figs. 1. :2, and -l. and which sector is mounted upon a shaft 93carried in bearings upon the end frames of the machine. The sector iscaused to oscillate upon its support by means of a.pit-man 9st connectedat one end to a pin 95 mounted upon the face of the sector, said pitmanbeing connected at its opposite end to a pin 96 adjustably mounted uponthe.

inner face of the pinion 97. a pin 98 for which a l upon the end frame 2of the machine. The pinion 97 is in gear with and receives motion from asecond pinion 98 mounted upon the shaft .9. The sector 92 engages apinion 100 mounted upon a shaft 101 carried in bearings formed upon thebrackets 86. The shaft is parallel to the spindle of the former, and ithas secured to ita second pinion 102 which engages a pinion 103 upon thesleeve 10% of the disk 105 secured to the pinion. The disk 105 isprovided upon its periphery with two teeth 106 which are designedmounted upon to be engaged by pawls 107 mounted upon the ellipticalplate 108, which plate is secured to an extension or sleeveof pinion103, see Figs. 5, 6. and 18. Thus as the seciracket 99 is provided.

,tor moves in one direction the pawls are permitted to engage the teeth'on disk 10:).-

which thereupon rotates; first compressing spring 90 and moving untilthe engagement of the projection on the inner member of the fgrmer withthe side of the slot in the outer member causes the. two parts to rotateas one. In addition to the pinion 103 'the spindle of the former at itsouter end is provided with a pinion 10G which engages a second pinion1O? whereby motion is transmitted to a third pinion 107 mounte upon aspindle 108 upon which is secured the drum 109 whereby glue is appliedto the end of the card strip at the end thereof as it passes on to theformer. The yarious gear wheels just referred to are indicated by dotteddines in 1* 2.

In order that the card-board may be tightly appliedto the former, 1provide two series of rollers 110 which are designed to press upon thecard 121 as it is wound around the former. The rollers shown in Figs. 1,2, and 17, are carried in a frame mounted upon the inner end of a slide111 supported in guides in a bracket 112. The reciprocation of the slide111 is effected by means of a pinion 1.13 mounted on the bracket, andwhich pinion engages a rack formed upon the slide 111. The spindle ofthe pinion 118 is provided with a second pinion 115 which is engaged bya rack ll-t atthe upper end of the rod 113. The rack is held in contactwith the pinion by means of a guide roller 116 mounted upon the side ofthe bracket 112. The rod 115 at its lower end is secured to a forkedmember 115 straddling shaft 10 and carrying a roller engaging a cam raceformed in the side of a disk 117 mounted upon said shaft 10. Asaforesaid the card-board is pushed forward to the former by means of thefingers T1, and as it is IllOVOtl forward it passes between plates 118,119. Fig. 17 by which it is for the time being held clear of the glueroller; the plates 118 and 119 being at this period in a plane above theperiphery of the roller 109. The plate 118 is pivotally mounted upon abracket 120 secured to the side of the glue reservoir. and it isprovided upon its under surface with a projection or surface 121designed to be engaged by a roller 122 carried by a spindle 122 mountedon the arms 123 which are pivot-ally mounted in a bracket 12% alsosecured to the side of the glue receptacle. The arms 123 are shaped asshown, and they overhang the glue cylinder at their inner end where theyare provided with rollers 125. The arms also carry a plate 119 whichacting in conjunction with plate 118 acts as a guide to insure theproper presentation of the end of the strip to the former. The farms 123aforesaid are caused to rock about their pivot by means of an arm 12'?socutrefd to their spindle, and which arm is connected to the upper endof a-rod 128, see Fig. 2. The rod 128 is bifurcated its lower end andstraddles the shaft 10, which shaft has mounted on it a disk 129 having{LC-{1111 race which is engaged by a roller upon the said rod 128. Whenthe card m is fed forward the arms 123 are in the position indicated bythe dotted lines in Fig. 17, and the saidarms in their rean wardmovement cause the roller 122 to act upon the underside of surface 121whereby the plate 118 is raised as indicated by dotted lines in theaforesaid Fig. 17. At the same time the plate 119 is brought down towardthe plate 118. the two as aforesaid forming a guide. for the card a?which is thus retained in a position such as to insure its properpresentation to the former. With the parts in the position justdescribed. the card a, which passes under the rollers 125. is held clearof the glue cylinder. \Yhcn. however, the card .2 has been drawn on tothe former the desired distance to avoid any glue coming into contactwith the waxed under surface of the card m. the arms- 1-3;; are rockedat the same time the plate 118 is lowered to bring the edge of the blankinto alinenientwith the axis of the former and the rollers 12.3 thereonpress the card m on to the cylinder. and it has imparted to its undersurface a coating of adhesive sullicient to insure the proper securingof the outer conyolutons of the card cylinder.

The parts are shown in the position just above referred to in the fulllines in Fig. 1T. The formation of the cylinder is illustrated in Figs.19 to 21 from which it will be seen that the card a." is lirst of allfed from the roll. and during its passage through the feeding rollers ithas applied to it a waxcoating (l along one edge. The coating is uponthe underside and is indicated in Figs. 19 and 20 by the broken dottedlines the direction of motion being indicated by the arrow 71 and the.line of severance by the dotted; line 1'. The partially rolled cardshown in Fig. 20. and which is moving at a right angle to the line ofmotion during 1h waxing operation. as indicated by the arro= 71.. hasapplied to the. end clear of the afore said waxed surface. a coating ofglue whereby the final coin'olutions of the card are seem-ed. Thecylinder K when its formation is completed is remoyed or stripped fromthe former by means of thc annular body 130. Figs. 1.. 3. and 5. andalso shown in dotted lines in Fig. 18, and which body encircles the bodyof the former, and is caused to reciprorate thereon by means of thelinks 131 pivotally connected at one end to the said annular body, andat the other end to the upper end of a lever 132., Figs. 1. 2, and 3,and which lever ispivotally mounted upon a bracket 133 secured to theframe of the machine, and carries at its lower end nose, 191

a roller engaging a cam race formed in the side of a pinion 1 34:. Theinner of the links 131 is suitably bent or shaped to avoid interferingwith the passage of the card tothe former. The pinion 134::is mounted nporr the aforesaid shaft- 16. The cylinden when stripped from the formeris received by a tubular body 135 arranged in line with and at the endof the former, and it is retained in said body during such time as thenext cylinder is being made in order that any unrolling of the card maybe prevented. When the nextcylinder is stripped from the former itpushes the first one out of the aforesaid tubular body 185, a chute orreceptacle being provided to receive it.

. in order to turn the machine by hand, a hand wheel 136 is providedmounted upon a shaft 13? carried in bearings upon brackets such as 138secured to the end of the frame of the machine. A pinion 139 is securedto the shaft 137. which pinion is in gear with the pinion 134-.

Scrapers i-lt) are provided to regulate the amount of glue j and waxupon the rcspe rive rollers. These scrapers may be of any desired form.and they are shown in Figs. 1. 11 and 12. said scrapers being supportedby brackets attached to the sides of the respective receptacles. I mayin some in stances dispense with a scraper tor the wax cylinder.
